This project was really really fun! We used authentic style brushes to make the authentic style chinese bamboo paintings! We used black water color- rather than ink- because that was what was available to us. I think it is awesome that we could make do with waht we had and it still turned out awesome! We had the oppertunity to use authentic rice paper, which I did, but the ink absorbed differently than the paper we were practicing on, so it didnt turn out the way that I had hoped it would. I have posted my practice piece of paper as well because I liked it so much. I brought the practice paper home with me and one of my roommates brought over a girl from China. I had the paper sitting on a desk, and I had forgot I had it there and the Chinese girl was like "Wow! Who does Chinese calligraphy?! It is bamboo!" she was sooo excited and so was I- because she knew what it was supposed to be!!!!
